Guess the macro image

Pretty sure I've seen it before on other forums, basically the idea is you take a photo of something, and then crop it(so you can show the original image after people guess it) so you can only see a small part of something, but enough to hopefully realise what it is.

Whoever guesses the image right posts the next one, no idea how this is gonna pan out but figured it was worth a shot

here's an example, hope it's not too hard,

Hint: I'm using it right now.

The 2nd hint was a bit of a dead giveaway.

Way too easy.

Camera

Macbook speakers

Coke Can

Nikon Manual lens

Skate dice

Baseball

Sign

BMW Logo

Some kind of coin

Also, leave it up to someone in M&A to have a designer lamp...

don;t know why you'd want the picture from the full one. it's the exact same thing and same angle, just worse quality.

New rule, whoever guesses correctly has 24 hours to post their own image, if they fail to do so within the time, anyone can post an image. THERE MUST ONLY BE 1 UNGUESSED IMAGE AT A TIME though.

no, because the kid who posted the wide lamp picture was the one the lamp macro poster quoted and said "your turn"

Okay here I am, sorry about that guys.

Here it is. If everybody is stumped I'll give a hint as not many people will think of guessing something like it:

Metal.

Ok first hint is very vague. It is a very unusual and rare item to own, and I am very proud to own it. Not something you can just "get"

The entire thing is metal, and i don't think I'd be very proud to own a paperclip ;) I'll give a more relieving hint after one more guess.

Hahaha, no.

Okay bigger hint, it was designed by a company based out of Montreal that designs locomotives, airplanes, and snowmobiles but is not a practical item that has any transportational use.

You're on the right track, this item has no relation to any other product designed by bombardier. Come to think of it, it actually was intended for the transportation of something but this something is not anything you could hold. The object that I have posted holds something that can not be held itself, the thing that it holds has been a tradition since ancient times but more commonly has been a tradition since 1928 during an event that happened in the very location that you reside.

Bombardier made the Vancouver Olympic torch, so I presume that's it?

Alright then.

Let's bump up the difficulty rating and go to Master Ninja Plus.

(Even if I don't macro this no one will probably guess this.)
